"Rare book on a very specific topic. Lots of detail in chapters: 1. whether to repair 2. rug structure and technical analysis 3. damage to oriental rugs 4. selecting yarn 5. reknotting 6. repairing warp and weft 7. selvage repairs 8. repairing ends 9. washing rugs and stain removal 10. use, care, storage and display
Many technical illustrations.
But for collectors of oriental carpets perhaps less value for money (compared to a rather high end price for the book):
it is very sharp on the subject: repair - and the actual text is down to 142 pages + glossary, including many illustrations and b/w photos.
You have to be very interested in repairs or doing repairs to have the full value of the book"
